A few of my favorite (skincare) things
A good skincare routine doesnât have to mean more products. It means choosing the right products for your skin and your goals.
These are six of my favorites because each one has a purposeâfrom eyes, pigment and hydration to healthy aging, antioxidants and daily protection.
The goal? Simplify. Target. Stay consistent.
Because the best routine is the one designed for your skin.
(plated)ÂŽ EYE Serum
Why I choose it: For the patient who says, âMy eyes are making me look tired.â This is my targeted choice for puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, crepey texture and overall rejuvenation of the delicate eye area.
How I use it: Apply a small amount around the eye area to clean, dry skin before other skincare. Wait about 5 minutes before layering additional products. Consistency mattersâthe benefits build over time.
Best for: đ Puffiness ⢠dark circles ⢠crowâs feet ⢠crepey eye-area skin
(plated)ÂŽ INTENSE Serum
Why I choose it: This is the heavy hitter when skin aging and repair are the priority. Its proprietary Renewosome⢠technology uses platelet-derived exosomes as cellular messengers to support the skinâs natural renewal process. I reach for it when I want to target more advanced or stubborn signs of aging.
How I use it: Apply to clean, dry skin 1â2 times daily before other skincare. Wait about 5 minutes before layering your next product.
Best for: Fine lines ⢠texture ⢠firmness ⢠redness ⢠aging skin concerns ⢠overall skin rejuvenation
Hydrinity VIVID Brightening Serum
Why I choose it: When pigment is the problem, VIVID is one of my favorites. I especially like that it takes a hydroquinone-free approach to helping improve existing discoloration while supporting prevention of future pigmentâand gives the skin hydration at the same time.
How I use it: After cleansing, apply a small amount to the face and neck morning and evening.
